Theoretical analysis of ion cyclotron range of frequency antenna array for HT-7U

This paper considers the coupling analysis of phased antenna array designed to excite fast wave in the ion cyclotron range of frequency. The coupling of the antenna is calculated in slab geometry. The coupling code based on the variational principle gives the self-consistent current flowing in the antenna, this method has been extended so that it can be applied to a phased antenna array. As an example, this paper analyses the coupling prosperities of a 2 × 2 phased antenna array. It gives the optimum geometry of antenna array. The fields excited at plasma surface are found to more or less correspond to the antenna current phasing.

Antenna gain enhancement by using metamaterial radome at THz band with reconfigurable characteristics based on graphene load

The reconfigurable concept of a graphene loaded patch antenna with increasing gain is proposed in this paper. We have developed the patch antenna with inset feed for THz band application for which graphene load is used to obtain the reconfigurable characteristic. It has been shown that by increasing the graphene chemical potential, the antenna resonant frequency shifted and the gain increased drastically up to 4 dBi. Additionally, we have shown that antenna efficiency is improved up to 78% which shows more than 100% of enhancement in comparison to basic antenna by increasing the graphene chemical potential. Finally, considering the antenna gain improvement, we have implemented the metamaterial layer over the antenna. In this case, the gain is increased more than 5–6 dBi. In addition, when we put the metamaterial layer over the antenna, the graphene layer shows more linear characteristics. By using parametric studies, we have defined the best point for metamaterial layer around 0.58λ. The final antenna gain is more than 11 dBi, which is useful for THz communication and THz medical imaging systems.     

Scaled model measurements of the sandwiched V-antenna

At frequencies above a few hundred GHz, waveguide mixer blocks become extremely difficult to build, so open structure feeds may be more appropriate. One promising planar antenna structure, which can easily be integrated with SIS junctions, is the sandwiched V-antenna. The antenna is completely enclosed in dielectric by placing it between substrate and superstrate blocks. Using a model scaled to a center frequency of 10 GHz, we investigated the beam pattern as a function of frequency, and measured its dependence on gaps between the super-and substrates. We plan to test the structure at a frequency of 345 GHz and to compare it with waveguide horn antennas for possible use in submillimeter astronomical receivers. The antenna patterns and analysis in this work are substantially more extensive than earlier published results.     

Complementary bowtie aperture for localizing and enhancing optical magnetic field

Nanoscale bowtie antenna and bowtie aperture antenna have been shown to generate strongly enhanced and localized electric fields below the diffraction limit in the optical frequency range. According to Babinet's principle, their complements will be efficient for concentrating and enhancing magnetic fields. In this Letter, we discuss the enhancement of magnetic field intensity of nanoscale complementary bowtie aperture as well as complementary bowtie aperture antenna, or diabolo nanoantenna. We show that the complementary bowtie antenna resonates at a smaller wavelength and thus is more suitable for applications near visible wavelengths. The near-field magnetic intensity can be further enhanced by the addition of groove structures that scatter surface plasmon.     

Steerable reflective high-gain antenna array based on loaded dipole scatterers

We present the results of studying experimentally a constructively simple and inexpensive centimeter-wave antenna having a radiation pattern, whose shape can be controlled. Specifically, the main lobe of the pattern can be scanned in a wide angular range, its width can be changed, and minima of the pattern can be formed in specified directions. The feed being the only active element of the antenna is located in front of the mirror made up by a system of steerable passive scatterers, which are dipole antennas loaded by semiconducting diodes. The capacity of the diode loads is changed under the action of controlling signals, which set specific bias voltages at each diode. The studies aimed at testing experimentally the operability of the antenna and assessing the practically achievable parameters of the proposed antenna design. The developed laboratory model of the antenna operates at frequencies near 2.4 GHz with a gain of more than 21 dBi and the possibility of scanning the main lobe of the radiation pattern in the horizontal and vertical planes to ±60° and ±15°, respectively, for the antenna with overall dimensions 100 × 60 × 30 cm.

Active Frequency-Tune Beam-Scanning Leaky-Wave Antenna Arrays

X-band active beam-scanning leaky-wave antenna arrays, including 1 × 1,1 × 2 and 1 × 4 prototypes, have been demonstrated. These antennas integrated one or several microstrip leaky-wave antenna elements with a single varactor-tuned HEMT VCO as an active source. Measured results on experimental antennas indicate that the beam scanning angle of the 1 × 1 antenna close to 40° can be achieved and the scanning range of 1 × 2 and 1 × 4 antenna arrays are both close to 32°. Furthermore, reflected wave due to the open end of each leaky-wave antenna element has been suppressed by the symmetric configuration of this antenna array and the antenna efficiency increases. When comparing with the measured radiation pattern of the single element antenna, we found that the 1 × 2 and 1 × 4 antenna arrays can effectively suppress the reflected power by more than 5.5 dB and 10.5 dB, respectively, at 10.2GHz. The power gain are more than 2 dB and 3.16 dB higher than the single element antenna with a measured EIRP of 18.67 dBm.

提出了一种辐射零点可控的紧凑型滤波贴片天线。该滤波天线以基本的微带贴片天线为原型,主要由一个简单的金属辐射贴片和两个对称的分割形槽组成。两个分割形槽蚀刻在金属贴片上,使得高/低频段分别产生两个宽边辐射零点,从而引入滤波选频功能。该结构未引入额外滤波电路和其他寄生单元,节省了空间尺寸,结构更加紧凑;两个辐射零点独立可控,提高了设计的灵活度。且在实现滤波选频功能的同时,对天线增益的影响很小。利用HFSS仿真软件优化滤波天线结构,制作了一个实物模型并进行了测试。测试结果与仿真结果基本一致。测试结果表明,提出的滤波天线工作在2.40 GHz,两个独立可控的辐射零点分别位于1.96 GHz和2.66 GHz,平均实际增益约为7.0 dBi,带外抑制水平超过39 dB。

Ultra-directional forward scattering by a high refractive index dielectric T-shaped nanoantenna in the visible

In this work, we design and numerically demonstrate a touching dielectric nanoantenna with high directionality. This antenna consists of a dielectric cuboid dimer with different heights, and there are no gaps between the subunits of the dimer. Superior unidirectional scattering is achieved when the electric and magnetic dipolar modes inside the antenna satisfy the first Kerker condition. This unidirectional scattering is much more prominent than its components (i.e., the dielectric cuboid nanoantennas with different heights) in the considered spectral region. Furthermore, the radiation angle can be tailored in a 10-degree range by properly rotating the antenna along the out of axis. The off-normal scattering is due to the interference between one induced magnetic dipole and two electric dipoles inside the nanoantenna. Furthermore, we also demonstrate that similar unidirectional scattering effect can also be maintained when the antenna is close to an electric (or magnetic) dipole source, and the forward emission direction can be efficiently controlled by the relative position of the dipole source. Finally, we show that it is possible to further enhance the unidirectionality by arranging the antenna in an array and the main lobe angular beam width of the 2D far-field pattern can be reduced to 28 degree.
